If you’re in search of a non-surgical way to get a face lift, then a PDO thread face lift may be what you’re looking for. Luxe Skin is a very professional Aesthetic Clinic in Glasgow to help you achieve your goals.
A PDO thread face lift is a non-surgical facelift. It uses dissolving or permanent threads depending on the procedure that contains tiny anchors. These barbs latch onto the skin and lift it. The barbs change direction halfway through the thread lift which allows it to fix the lift and prevent it from coming back down. A PDO thread face lift, sometimes known as the puppet lift or one stitch facelift, needs three to six threads inserted on each side of the lower area of the face to achieve a good result.
A PDO thread face lift uses dissolvable threads made out of polydioxanone. Apart from the lift caused by the anchors, thread lifting causes bio-stimulation by triggering collagen production as the thread is absorbed by the body. This results in a further lifting and firming effect. The results from PDO thread treatments last around 12-15 months and are a fairly painless experience.
PDO thread lifts also stimulate collagen and elastin but their main mode of action is through tissue suspension. They mimic connective tissue that is responsible for keeping the skin taut. With time this connective tissue slacks causing the skin to fall. The permanent threads lift and anchor the skin to the scalp. Because the threads do not dissolve, the lifting effect lasts longer, often over 3 years. The lift reduces with time as you get older and the skin gets more slack. Permanent threads are the only real alternative to a surgical facelift.
There are numerous brands of PDO threads. The PDO threads used at Luxe Skin Glasgow are Elionce Rejuva Lift and MINT PDO thread. We’re the best skin clinic in Glasgow because we use the best products. Most of the permanent threads are made of polypropylene. At Luxe Skin in Glasgow, we use Spring Thread® which is silicone coated with bi-directional anchors that produce an excellent locking effect. Silicone is a neutral bio-compatible material which means it does not trigger an aggressive response and is perfectly accepted by the body.
